Avocado Stuffed With Crabmeat Maison Or Cold Crab Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Spoon onto avocado halves. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
• Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, basil and anchovies in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the crabmeat, half of the avocado and about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt dressing in a small bowl. Toss the romaine, croutons, haricots verts and the remaining avocado with the remaining dressing in a large bowl.
• Divide the romaine salad among plates, top with the tomatoes and place some of the crab mixture in the center.

Steps:

• Crabmeat Maison:.
• Combine egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in mixing bowl, and whisk together (until well combined); whisk in oil slowly until emulsified (this might work better in food processor, but I did by hand).
• Fold in capers, parsley, and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Chill for 2 to 4 hours.
• Shortly before serving, gently fold in crabmeat, taking care not to break any of the lumps; set aside.
• Stuffed Avocado Salad:.
• Slice the avocados lengthwise, and remove the pits. Peel and set the 8 halves aside.
• Create a bed of lettuce on 8 chilled plates. Nest the avocado halves in the center of the lettuce covered plates.
• Evenly divide the Crabmeat Maison into the cavities of the avocados, forming little mounds.
• Add a wedge of the tomato to each plate, and drizzle with the Creole Mustard Vinaigrette.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the crab mix, flake the crabmeat into a small bowl and mix in the mustard and oil, then season to taste. Can be made the day ahead. Add the basil and chilli just before serving.
• To serve, halve and stone the avocados. Fill each cavity with a quarter of the crab mix, scatter with a few of the smaller basil leaves and eat with teaspoons.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the shrimp, crabmeat, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped radishes, chopped celery, shallots, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Halve and seed the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch behind. Chop the avocado flesh and gently mix it into the seafood salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the seafood salad into the avocado halves.
• Toss the arugula with the sliced celery, sliced radishes, parsley leaves, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Divide among 8 plates; nestle the avocado halves on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Squeeze the juice from 1 half of the lime into a bowl. Add the olive oil and cilantro and whisk well. Add the mango, red pepper, onion, jalapeno, and lime zest and toss to coat. Gently stir in the crabmeat to keep it from breaking up. Set aside while preparing the avocados.
• Cut the avocados in half and remove pit. Squeeze the remaining lime half over the avocado flesh, using the lime half to spread it evenly, in order to keep them from turning black.
• Toss the crab salad, check for seasoning, and mound into the avocado halves, dividing it evenly. (Use an ice cream scoop for neat, even rounds, if that's your thing.) Serve right away.
